List of Ingredients




Cheesecake with Chocolate Lace

Makes 16 servings

1-3/4 cups finely crushed chocolate wafers (about 33)
1/3 cup butter (no substitutes), melted
3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon almond or mint extract
2 egg yolks
1 egg
1/4 cup half-and-half or light cream
1 6-ounce package white chocolate baking bars, chopped
2 tablespoons light-colored corn syrup
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon butter (no substitutes)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate pieces
Whipped cream (optional)
Chocolate Lace Musical Symbols (optional)



Recipe



Preheat oven to 375 degree F.

For crust, combine cookie crumbs and the 1/3 cup melted butter. Press crumb mixture
onto bottom and 2 inches up sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.

For filling, beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, and extract in a large mixing bowl
with an electric mixer until combined. Add egg yolks and the whole egg all at once,
beating on low speed just until combined. Stir in half-and-half and chopped white
chocolate. Pour filling into crust-lined pan. Place in a shallow baking pan in oven.

Bake in a preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until center appears nearly set
when shaken. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Loosen the crust from sides
of pan and cool cheesecake completely. Cover and chill cheesecake in the refrigerator
at least 4 hours before serving.

Heat corn syrup, water, and the 1 tablespoon butter until butter melts and mixture
just boils. Pour over chocolate pieces in a small bowl; let stand 1 minute. Stir
until smooth. Spread over top of cheesecake. Chill 5 to 10 minutes or until chocolate
is set. If desired, garnish with whipped cream and Chocolate Lace Musical Symbols.
Makes 16 servings.

Chocolate Lace Musical Symbols: Melt 3 ounces semisweet chocolate and 1-1/2 teaspoons
shortening. Let cool slightly. Place in a plastic bag. Cut a small hole in one corner
and pipe the shapes onto waxed paper. Let garnishes stand in a cool, dry place until
firm.
